Summary
Big Nose Freaks Out, the quirky NES title from Codemasters and Camerica, puts you in the fur‑covered shoes of a cave‑man whose bone‑bank has been emptied by a ravenous dinosaur. Armed with a basic club and an oddball ‘stone‑board’ you’ve invented, you sprint through scrolling prehistoric landscapes, smashing foes and hoarding reclaimed bones and bonuses. The game rewards exploration with hidden levels and secret items, and even drops a two‑player mode that lets friends race each other to the finish. Its side‑scrolling platform action feels oddly modern thanks to the wheeled gadget that adds a skate‑like flair to the usual jump‑and‑punch rhythm. For anyone digging retro quirks, the ROM’s now easy to find on emulation sites, keeping the oddball adventure alive.
Storyline
The story of Big Nose Freaks Out begins on a Tuesday afternoon in 17 million BC. Caveman Big Nose heads to the Savings and Bones to deposit his stash, but Lizardman Leroy knocks him out and steals the savings. When Big Nose awakens to find his treasure gone, he freaks out and vows revenge.
Determined, he builds a wheeled platform and grabs his trusty club, setting off on a side‑scrolling quest across five sections, each with four levels. Along the way he can swing his club at enemies, toss rocks, and uncover hidden treasures, secret levels, and warp zones.
At the end of every section Leroy waits with a massive monster, forcing Big Nose to battle his way forward. The game mixes platform action with exploration as Big Nose chases down his stolen savings.
